Honda Prelude 1996-
  • Economy

    Value

    5 out of 5 5.0

    I bought a one year old with 10k miles on the clock at about half the new price. A lot of car for the money.

    Costs

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Tyres very expensive and the front ones don't last long at all. Fairly good on petrol though, unless abused!

  • On the road

    Driving

    5 out of 5 5.0

    An excellent drive, comfortable cabin and a peachy engine. Although lacks the silkiness of a V6.

    Performance

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Acceleration is incredible, with a superb engine note around the VTEC moment. Cornering is very poised, with very little bodyroll.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Perfect. Only snag is the brake discs corrode quickly.

    Colour and spec make all the difference. Yellow with big alloys and spoiler looks good.

    Comfort

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Limited headroom in the front for tall drivers. Children only in the back.
